We should acknowledge in the existence of god(s) as a creation of man. Afterall, we did make him/her/it/them up. We (humans) created god(s) in our own image and let them loose. Think about it, which god(s) out there do not in some way look human?

Then, let me ask you this. If our imagination was powerful enough to create and immortalize the idea, the symbol of god(s), does that not make us humans gods ourselves as creators of such a life?

Aside from the philosophical, human kind has progressed a long way in science and technology that would make it possible for us to replicate many if not all of the miracles or wonders discribed in various religious texts across various religions. If we were not gods before, we are now.

Humans are still constantly evolving as well as our technology. How far we will progress is still a mystery. I believe the idea of god(s) that many all love and fear is actually a byproduct for us to explain a lot of the unexplainable. Humans are curious creatures and want answers to everything. On this planet, we are already the gods. we are all knowing and most powerful compared to all the other beings on this earth.

I believe god(s) in general, or rather all knowing, all powerful, omnipotent beings, is/are a standard we as humans created, idolize and decided for ourselves a long time ago to be our next evolutionary milestone.

Technology has helped us come a long way. It has fed our curiosity to explain everything. I believe that one day, when humans develop the technology and science to finally and definitively answer the why we are here and what is the universe questions, we will no longer need to cling on the idea of god(s) out there watching us as we will finally realize what we have become and who god really is. It is us, humankind, ourselves.

so, short answer is no. i dont believe in god or gods. but i believe in mankind and human potential to eventually sort ourselves out.
